***car Stolen***
will be on the lookout. dealership guys, be on the lookout for anyone trying to get this car serviced that seems suspicious. that has happened before that a stolen vehicle was recovered after the service writer noticed the customer acting overly suspicous/nervous. oh, and josh mcgrath, i hope that is your idea of sympathy through humor. if not, you are an asshat. i'd go as far as saying i hope you die a slow death from prostate cancer, but that would be a little extreme. i've had a vehicle stolen in harris county. the cops recovered it about 2 weeks later. the thieves ran it till it ran out of gas and then ditched it. i know how you feel.

I'm going to carpet bomb the neighborhood with flyers and offer a reward for the recovery of the vehicle. SOMEONE on my street knows something. Maybe $500.00 is enough to get them to talk, or at least the little kids.
As for the 1980, it's a factory WS6 car, disc brakes, big sway bars, etc. I've had it for 11 years now (damn - has it been that long?!?). Anyway, the 301 broke it's little tiny crank in two pieces. I had already started building the 455 for it. It has #96 heads, edelbrock intake, dynomax headers, and a wolverine cam. It's a Buffalo car and was my daily ride for a number of years when living up north. Needless to say, the Buffalo winters were not good to it and I need to replace the body. The rear quarters are pretty bad and the floor is mostly gone, too. It still has the factory 2.56:1 rear end. I've run a best of 13.5 @ 102 while going through the traps still in second gear! It needs 3.42's badly. But, I need a rust free body before moving forward. The wife wants me to find a nice 70-73 body, but they are just harder to find and more expensive. Anyway, it's still fun to drive, rust and all!! The other thing, this car sat on the STREET 24/7 for the past 2 years. The doors don't lock (broken) but nothing has ever happened to that car. It just goes to show, most people are looking for the newer ones. But, that being said, I've already moved the 1980 to a different location.

this is sad. my ss was stolen abt 2 yrs back. and when HPD found it. it had a brand new key in the ignition. I called GM ....no help and they said any GM dealer can make the key and they dont have records of this. since than i in all my cars the vin # is covered with a peice of paper. HPD wont do j@ck **** and will only call you when they find your car either wrecked or stripped. They never have time to follow up on real crimes.
I'll also keep an eye out for your bird.

I don't think they used the key to steal your car since you said it would have woken you or your dog up my guess is that they used a flatbed my other guess would be that its a ring of car theif's try looking on ebay for your parts some people are retarded like that I also suggest you start looking for a car exactly like yours so the insurance company doesn't lowball you on the price like they love to do even though they rape you on the rates 
No, nothing new on my car. I keep watching the otherside of the road when I'm driving just thinking I'd see it. I know it's likely chopped, but you never know.
As for the insurance, the guy said he gives the police about two weeks, so I still have another week to go.
Also, I've been looking periodically on Ebay and my wife even called some of the pick-n'-part places looking for a Ram Air hood. Most say that it's hard to get parts for those cars.

about 2 weeks ago a pewter ta was stolen from my apartment complex very close to where you live. its right off of bw8/45s. also another chysrler 4d was left on the axles, right next to where the ta was stolen from. i park mine about 200 yards away every night. after hearing about it from him, and reading about your vehicle...im starting to think its the same person, or group of people in the area. sorry about your loss.
Sorry to hear about your car. I hope you find it soon and they catch the sorry sobs that did it.
Whats sad is I have locked my keys in the car before with my windows cracked maybe a half inch or so. I unscrewed my antenna and carefully stuck it through the slit and unlocked my door. So if I can do it that easily I know someone who rips off cars for a living could do it.
